Given your bias, it means far less than what it should.

Given that you don't actually use any other scopes, or do direct comparisons, it means less than it should.

Given that if it says "L", you laud it, and if it doesn't, you don't, it means less than it should.

You demean your own opinions to a degree that on the issue of rifle scopes, your opinions are not held very highly.

On other issues, your opinion is valued, as your bias is not there (save against Glocks), and your experience is based upon comparison and use. On scopes, you don't do the same, so, no, your experience and opinion is not valued the same.
